What if your car was using more fuel than necessary because of a simple dirty sensor? The mass airflow (MAF) sensor plays a crucial role in your engine’s performance. But when it’s dirty or faulty, it can significantly increase your fuel consumption. Curious how to avoid this waste? Read this article carefully.
What is the MAF sensor and why is it essential?
The MAF sensor , or mass air flow meter , precisely measures the amount of air entering your vehicle’s engine. Using this information, the onboard computer ( ECU ) adjusts the air-fuel mixture for optimal combustion. But when it’s dirty or faulty, this balance is disrupted. The result? Your engine is getting too much fuel, resulting in over-consumption.
